Iraq’s Kurdistan region to hold elections on November 18.

 


Elections are scheduled to take place on November 18 in the semi-autonomous Kurdistan region of northern Iraq, according to the government spokesman.

Reportedly, the regional government spokesman announced the date of the elections on Sunday. Iraqi Kurdistan President Nechirvan Barzani also issued a decree to give approval to the date of the elections.

While attending the news conference, KRG spokesman Dilshad Shahab said that the Iraqi Kurdistan President gave approval for the election’s date. The elections will take place to elect a parliament and a president for Kurdish regions in Iraq.

Iraq’s Kurdistan region gained self-rule in 1991 when a U.S.-led coalition forced Saddam Hussein's Iraqi army to withdraw from them. Saddam Hussein was toppled in 2003. The removal of Saddam helped Iraq’s Kurdistan region.

Recently, Iraq won a legal case against Turkey over Kurdish oil exports. Iraq and Turkey have been locked in a nine-year dispute over oil exports from the semi-autonomous Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG), which goes from the Kurdish region to the port of Ceyhan in Turkey.

Iraq considers KRG exports via the Turkish Ceyhan port as illegal. The International Chamber of Commerce, the largest and most representative business organization, ruled in favour of Iraq. Turkey said it respected the recent ruling. Turkey will have to pay Iraq around $1.5 billion.

This year, Iraq stationed an additional 6,000 troops along its Iranian and Turkish borders. Iraq also signed a border agreement with Saudi Arabia to enhance border security.

Iraq exports an average of 3.3 million barrels daily. It is one of the largest oil producers within the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). It is also a key source of revenue for the government. OPEC is an organization for the cooperation of leading oil-producing countries. It also influences the global market.

“Iraq is Utilizing What They Have Right Now”

Here’s something good that I want to share with what I read today. It’s about  how Iraq utilizes a decentralized arrangement of administration, the Gulf countries and their organizations can investigate such financial possibilities with different individual Iraqi governorates, directed by the national government. This can likewise make a sound rivalry among Iraqi governorates to offer better costs and more good arrangements with Gulf organizations, as the two sides advantage. For me, Iraq needs huge monetary and monetary support. Monetary guide bundles can just reduce some tension on the present moment. Aside from Iran, there is insignificant territorial interest in Iraq's private area. Tehran's interest in Iraq has not given remarkable monetary advantages, for the most part because of authorizations. Inlet countries ought to investigate Iraq as a feasible competitor for their business ventures, and they can even use Jordan as a middle person to shape a solid financial ternio...
